My name is Miray. I’m a Dutch-Turkish copywriter and sound producer based in Amsterdam. I graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in 2024 and now work as a copywriter at Wieden+Kennedy.
As Susan Hoffman once said: “At Wieden + Kennedy I’ve seen Miray’s work: fast, visual, and grounded in an attentiveness that pulls meaning from the smallest details. She doesn’t wait for inspiration - she creates it.”
Now for the part where I quote myself:
I write words that make people laugh, cry, or stop for a second. I make sounds that shape atmosphere. I come up with ideas and concepts that don’t always fit neatly in a room. I see visually, think structurally, and know how to send ideas into the world.
And I’m here not just to dream,
but to actually make things.
To move fast, put work out there, test it, play with it.
To answer questions,
to solve problems.
And, if I’m lucky,
to make someone feel something.
